CGI scripts are programs that provide webpages with functions and features that standard
HTML does not offer. Two very common and useful examples are form-mailers and vistor
counters.
Form-Mailer
A form-mailer takes the contents of an HTML form (a webpage with blanks on it that
you fill in) and emails them to a specified recipient.
We make a form-mail script available to our webhosting customers at no charge. It's
very simple to setup and use with your webpages. Take a look at these
form-mail instructions
for more information.
Visitor Counter
A visitor counter keeps track of the number of times your webpage is loaded. It displays
a number on the screen in a location you specify, showing that number.
We provide a
nice counter for you to use with your webpages. You can choose
from a wide range of fonts and number styles, so that your counter fits with the look of
your webpages. These
counter instructions
will help you get it set up in no time!
